How the exam asks it

Near Yerseke you are driving on a road with a solid line between the lanes. A cyclist with luggage is riding slowly ahead of you. May you overtake?

  1. No, not while the solid line is on your side without a dashed line next to it
  2. Yes, overtaking a cyclist is always allowed, regardless of the road marking
Show the answer

Correct answer: No, not while the solid line is on your side without a dashed line next to it

You may not cross a solid line, not even for a cyclist, unless the marking is combined with a dashed line on your side

Why learners get this wrong: At a combined line (one dashed, one solid) you may never overtake, whichever side you are driving on.
